Explore the historic Over-the-Rhine neighborhood on a guided walking and streetcar experience that covers about one mile and highlights topside landmarks like Findlay Market, Music Hall, Washington Park, and the site of the Miam-Erie Canal, while also revealing the area’s fascinating underground past at locations you view from above such as the pre-Prohibition lagering cellars of the Lafayette Brewery and the abandoned subway beneath Central Parkway; you’ll even descend three stories into the former cold-storage caverns of the Gerke Brewery (access involves steep stairs and isn’t recommended for young children or anyone with difficulty on stairs, though you’re welcome to stay topside), and the tour wraps up a few blocks from where you start with a round of pints at a local taproom-making this Over-the-Rhine outing in Cincinnati a compact, immersive way to connect with both the visible and hidden history of the neighborhood while planning your stay and activities through Varoom.
